The round was co-led by SineWave Ventures and Felicis, with participation from Alumni Ventures, Massive, Calm Ventures, Gaingels, alongside industry-expert angels. This investment brings Operant AI's total funding to $13.5 million, which they will use to accelerate team and product expansion bringing unprecedented transparency and active cloud-native protection to all APIs, AI, and cloud applications with a particular focus on securing the entire data-in-use lifecycle as it flows through every layer of modern application environments.

Operant AI is the only Runtime Application Protection Platform that actively shields every layer of live applications from infra to APIs. Operant's unique multidimensional approach protects where other AppSec, API, and AI protection platforms drop off - actively securing the entire 'cloud within the cloud' including all APIs, services, and identities beyond the firewalls. Operant's Adaptive Internal Firewalls block >80% of the most critical and common runtime attacks ranging from data exfiltration to unauthorized access to AI supply chain attacks, and many more. Within minutes of Operant's single-step deployment, security and platform teams gain a completely new level of real-time visibility and cloud-native protection for their entire cloud application stacks bringing frictionless security to dev, sec, and ops so that teams can deploy products and AI faster without security holding them back.
